Re: [Gumstix-users] PPP server on gumstix

Hi Christine
when setting up a PPP link you generally have one end decide the IP
addresses and tell the other end to expect IP addresses from the first end.
I'm not sure if pppd is all you need for server communications. Possibly you
will need some form of initial chatting between the GUMSTIX and your windows
box to synchronise the starting of the PPP applications.
that's how we did it on an older system we were selling.

Thanks kirk,
I will try it today.
Another questions in mind,
Do i have to install any ppp package ? because i read from this people, some
people tried to install some packages.
Do i have to do something to set the IP address for both sides ?
Thanks.
Christine.

aha! in that case its similar case to cable-crossover or radio modem
look at our wiki page:
http://glacsweb.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php?title=PPP
except you'll probbaly need a lower baud rate - especially if you have
no handshake to the modems (if you do you can keep 38400 as thats just
the speed to the modem not between them)
good luck!
